Services Provided to Campus Community

The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management (Public
Safety) offers the following services free of charge:

Jump Starts
In response to the problem of dead batteries in automobiles, Public
Safety implemented the vehicle jump-start program. By simply
calling our dispatchers at 274-3333 or via a blue-light phone,
anyone on campus can have their car jump-started, at no charge,
from a specially equipped patrol vehicle or from one of the
department-owned jump packs. SASP members have been trained to
perform this duty, as have public safety officers and members of
Ithaca College Parking Services.

Lock Outs
If you've locked your keys in your car, we have equipment that can
open most vehicles. Call 274-3333.

Roadside Assistance
If you're having problems with your vehicle, contact Public Safety
and an officer will respond and attempt to assist you. We can also
recommend several qualified towing companies that can help get your
vehicle running.

Lost and Found
Public Safety serves as the official lost-and-found repository for
the College. If you've lost something, please give us a call at
274-3353 to see if the item has been turned in.

Wildlife Control Program
Ithaca College is surrounded by both fields and wooded areas. By
virtue of its setting, wildlife (deer, skunks, pigeons, bats,
birds, raccoons, etc.) may require rescue, cause property damage,
or create a hazard to themselves or to humans. Examples include a
bird that has flown inside a building, a young raccoon separated
from its mother, or a bird nest in an outdoor light fixture,
creating a fire hazard.

If you notice an animal in distress on campus or a safety hazard
involving wildlife, contact Public Safety at 274-3333. An officer
will respond and, if necessary, contact a wildlife
professional.

Please do not attempt to help a wild animal yourself. You are
likely to put yourself and the animal at risk. Euthanasia of
wildlife occurs only if the animal is severely ill, injured, or it
cannot be humanely released on campus. State regulations
specifically forbid relocation to another site. In most cases,
animals that are safely captured by professionals can be returned
immediately to campus wild areas or placed with a wildlife
rehabilitator for care.
